INEBRIATED. INTOXICATED. DRUNK.
My inquiry to you all:
The category: Synonyms
The clue: This word meaning Drunk
The winning response: What is Intoxicated
Was inebriated another acceptable answer? Like I first thought.
Or was it just the answer? In which case there was a goof up.
The category was not what I thought. Forget you read this. My mistake.
Nevermind again. It still works. Forget the first response (to my own comment…)
Inebriated was the answer.
“In” my opinion
Jack, I put the whole category on the second page of the recap with “inebriated” as an acceptable alternate.
Lol. That’s cool. Thank you. Are you a show employee or just a big Jan?
Category: Game Shows
Clue: A person called a Jan
Response: What is a Jeopardy-Fan
(It is something I just made up)
I’d also identify as a Jan-man or just a Jan,.. man.
I am not connected with the show at all nor is this website. I started this site around 2010 and began recapping Jeopardy! the following year. I like to look up more information about the final clue. At that time, I was doing it mainly for my own amusement. I didn’t know if anyone was interested in the additional info, but it turned out that many people are.
By your definition, I guess you could say I am Jan – lol – a Jan-woman.
A WoJan. Lol
That’s pretty cool. Keep up the good work.
Just curious, ever been on the show?
I feel like you deserve it. Although, if you haven’t yet, you might wait until Matt is dethroned or gets bored and moves on. Lol
Thanks, Jack, and no, I have never even tried to be on the show because I am only good at about half the categories. I’m just terrible at math and science stuff. Ditto sports and opera. 🤣🤣
The image is wrong. Matt had $61,200 at the end of FJ!
Okeydoke, it’s fixed
Lord of the rings was my favorite movie. I got Tolkien but still glad nick didn’t bet anything which was a smart move. But still another clean sweep on the daily doubles. Matt has beaten another record so far. Vj which lord of the rings movie was your favorite? I still think Matt’s superchamp status is going to increase but I dont think he could get past 32 wins.
Not even Viggo Mortensen could get me to watch the Lord of the Rings films, Lou.
I also have been misspelling Tolkien, no doubt because I thought it was pronounced Toll-kine. I know I’ve seen it being pronounced before on the show, but I guess I wasn’t paying enough attention. Now I will make it a point to remember that it’s Toll-kin, not kine
Will any person beat him before 2021 ends?
Matt is not nearly as good as Ken Jennings and James Holzhauer. Matt will definitely lose in 2021.
